The Sertoma Club of Spartanburg Wednesday recognized a local woman for a lifetime of charity service with its "Service to Mankind Award." The award to Jane Hughes Warner is the highest the club can bestow on a non-member. Warner, co-owner of the Pic-a-Book bookstore, has been involved with charity work since grammar school. She has helped fight birth defects and polio and served the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, the American Lung Association, the Association for Retarded Citizens, and the local and state Civitan organizations. "This year's recipient of the Sertoma Club of Spartanburg's Service to Mankind Award definitely goes to a worthy community worker who began volunteering at an early age," said Sertoma President Don Tate. "From how it appears today, she will be contributing to the Spartanburg community for many years to come." Warner said she was taken by surprise by the award but grateful. "I am so proud to be a part of this community," she told the club. "I thank my mother and father for showing me the way in charity." Original Atex file name: HUGHES.1
